Google has now started rolling out the ability to activate Search or Assistant on devices by using the phrase "Hey, Google". Initially, this feature was only available to a handful of people, but now it has started rolling out more widely.
Google has now started rolling out the ability to activate Search or Assistant on devices by using the phrase "Hey, Google". Initially, this feature was only available to a handful of people, but now it has started rolling out more widely.
Users will need to re-setup the voice model (Settings > Google > Search > Voice), and can use either "Ok Google" or "Hey Google" to open Google Search/Assistant. This will also work when the screen is off. According to a report by xda-developers, the existence of the “Hey Google” command was first spotted in the APK of the Google app, on the Pixel 2.
The company has also introduced a new platform to build voice-enabled solutions for the Google Assistant. For anyone who wants to build for the Assistant, resources such as developer tools, documentation and a simulator are available on the Actions on Google developer website, making it easy to create, test and deploy voice-enabled solutions.
Eligible developers can also join the Google Assistant Developer Community Program to get started with building apps for the Google Assistant. With the ability to create apps on the Google Assistant, users in India will soon have easy and fast access to all types of interactions, using nothing more than their voice. When apps are built to work with the Assistant, users can simply tell Assistant to connect with the app using a voice command - whether it's on supported Android phones or iPhones.
Also this doesn't need anything extra to be installed -- users can interact with their favorite app by saying "Ok Google, talk to.." to interact with that app. This platform will give more Indians the help they need using the convenience of a voice command at home or on-the-go - from the morning rush hour to the weekend unwind. And as a user, you'll soon be able to access more of your favourite services and content using the convenience of Google Assistant.
